Be transparent in the development and deployments of its vaccine prioritization and distribution plan.For a successful distribution and uptake of a COVID-19 vaccine, we request that OWS: ANA stands ready to partner with the OWS in communicating timely and accurate information to not only nurses, but to other health care providers and communities alike.ĪNA recognizes that the development on the COVID-19 vaccine is moving at a record pace and questions remain on the efficacy and potential long-term effects as well as timely access to the vaccine. As the trials for a COVID-19 vaccine continue to progress, ANA would welcome the opportunity to be a sounding board for Operation Warp Speed (OWS) as well as others within the Administration in the development of a deployment and messaging plan. ANA represents the 4 million nurses throughout the United States and its territories, providing frontline care to COVID-19 patients, their families, and to communities faced with concern and questions.

On behalf of the American Nurses Association (ANA), I am writing to offer the organization’s expertise and assistance in prioritization and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines and to better define nursing’s role in these efforts.
